Much Peeved Over New Law.

(Continued from page one.)

of those who voted in Marion tp. and liensselaer at the last subsidy election, held here voted for the proposition, how many of those voting in favor thereof were large tax payers or even medium tax payc-is? A great many people did not vote on the proposition at all, and these none-voters were nearly 'air people who would have had to pay a good many dollars had the tax been levied and collected. They realized that the proposition was bound to be carried here in spite of them, and therefore stayed away from the polls. The Democrat will venture the assertion that at least four out of every six of the six-sevenths voting for the proposition would not have had to pay as much as $5 each of |he subsidy tax, and many of them scarcely nothing at all.

The renter, who is here today and away tomorrow, could vote a tax on his landlord for which he would not be liable to pay one penny. The farm renter might perhaps have three or four votes in his family and he could vote a tax on the owner of the farm and before the tax was levied and collected he would be in some other township or county. The landowner might vote against the proposition, yet his vote would be largely overbalanced by the tenant who paid none of the tax his vote had caused to be levied. This proposition is entirely wrong, and if the Wood bill puts an end to subsidy elections, as the Republican claims it practically will do, it is a mighty good thing and Mr. Wood will lose no friends for his action in fathering the bill. The Republican sgys that there might be “200 people in a township

and every one desire to support a subsidy proposition, yet they would have no choice to exercise their will unless there were 75 freeholders to sign the petition.” Now we know of no law that prevents anyone from going down into THEIR OWN POCKET and giving whatever they please to any project that comes along. And if these 200 people, everyone of whom wanted to be taxed to support a railroad subsidy, could not vote the tax upon themselves because there were not 75 freeholders in their township, they could easily determine what their tax would be, had it been voted, and they could pay this amount to the promoters without anyone attempting to raise a hand to stop them, and thus save the trouble and expense of holding an election.

The Wood bill makes it more difficult for the small tax payer and voters who pay no taxes at all to say that their more thrifty neighbors shall dig down into their pockets, against their will, and hand over their money to a private corporation. It is claimed that there are but three states that longer permit the voting of subsidies to private corporations, and if this law above complained of by the Republican will practically put an end to the imposition in Indiana, we can content ourselves that we are in good company, or, at least, that 45 other states beat us- to it.

As to the proposition of the Lafayette & Northwestern Railroad Co. asking for subsidies, the promoters of this company when they first appeared here, and all along since until very recently, stated that they would not ask for any subsidies, and that the subsidy proposition was an imposition on the people. It is evident that they have changed their

ideas in the matter, as subsidy elections have already been, called to vote them aid in Jackson and Beaver townships, Newton county. The Democrat has no objection whatever to any corporation building a railroad through Rensselaer or Jasper county if it chooses to do so with its own money, but it does object to saying we must give the promoters a hundred dolars of our money, against our will, to help them build it, and in this proposition the great majority of the real tax payers are with us. We would not be so uncharitable as to say that the fact that the Rejubllcan gets from S4O to SSO out of every subsidy election held has anything to do with its position of favoring these elections, but if some other paper got to publish the notices and furnish the election supplies, it is barely possible that it would not be Quite so enthusiastic over the proposition.
